Un hôtel agréable et bien placé.
Pros:

L'emplacement était très bien, l'hôtel est propre et joli, le ptit-déjeuner était simple mais bon, le personnel était très sympathique, accueillant et compétent.

Cons:

La chambre (simple) était un peu petite, la position de la piscine dans le même local que le petit-déjeuner est surprenante et l'eau de la piscine était plutôt froide.

A very enjoyable trip and I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I returned to Lyon.
Pros:

Perfect location to explore Lyon, 2 minute walk to the river and lots of nice restaurants within a 5 minute walk. The room was very cosy with a good size bathroom and comfortable bed. I also liked the bar area which was just opposite the reception area.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything. The location is perfect.
